Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out


Once I lived the life of a millionaire
 3  -3   3   -3   3   3  3 -2* -1 -1 -2

Spent all my money,   didn't have a care
 -5   -5  -5 -4* -3*  -4* -3* -4* -3* -4* -3*

Taking all my friends out for the mighty good ride
 -5 -5  6  6    -5     5   5  -3   4  -3   4   -5 

Bootleg liquors, champagne and wine
-3  -3  -3  -3    -5  -5   5  -5  5


Then I began to fall so low
 -3 -3 -3  3  3  -2  -1 -1 -2 

Didn't have a penny,   had no place to go
-5 -5  -5  -5 -4* -3*  -4* -3* -4* -3* -4* -3*

If I ever lay my hands on a dollar again
6  6 -5 5  5  5   5    5 -3  4 -3  4 -5

Gonna hold on to it till the eagle grins
-3  3  -3  -3  3 -3  -5   5  -5  5 -5  5


Nobody loves you well when you're down and out
-3 -3 3  -2  -1   -5   7    -6   -5 -3* -4* -3* -4* -3*

In your pocket not one penny
-5  -6  -7 -7  -7  -7   7 -7

And your friends, you don't have any
 -3   3    -3      -5  -5   -5  -5  5


Well just as soon as you get back on your feet again
-5    -6   7  -7  -7 -7  -7   -6  -5  5    -5  5 -5 -6

Here they come the same old year long lost friends
 -5   -5   -5   -5  7   -6  -5  -4* -3* -3* -4* -3*

I said it's mighty strange but without a doubt
-5 -6   7    7  -6 -7 7 -7  -3  -3  4 -3 -6 -5


Nobody needs you, nobody loves you
-7 -6 -5 -6  -7   -7 -6 -5 -6  -7
    
Nobody loves you when you're down,   down, down, down and out
-7 -7* -7  8  5  -8*   -7* -7 -7* -7  -6    -5*   -3  -3* -3

Nobody needs you, I say nobody loves you
-7 -6 -5 -6  -7   -6 -6 -6 -6 -5 -6  -5

Nobody loves you when you're down, down, down and out
-7 -7* -7  8  8   8     -7*  -7 7   -6     5  -3* -3


(8 -10 8) (-8 -10 -8) (-7* 7 7*) -7    5  1  6*&7*
